WHITE. CHOCOLATE. CINNAMON. POPCORN.Good grief, Charlie Brown! This stuff is good. And SO easy.
Have you ever gotten those fancy Christmas catalogs with the dozens of recipes for flavored popcorn? And you plan to get some, and then you realize you will have to get a second mortgage to afford it? Well. This is your solution.
All you need:
Air popped popcorn - nope, do NOT use microwave popped, it won't hold up. Promise.
White chocolate chips - don't skimp. With this you want to go for quality AND quantity.
Cinnamon/sugar blend - Personally, I use an Indonesian cinnamon from The Spice House. Di-vine.
Pop your corn. Do it.
Melt the chocolate chips (this is the only step you CAN use the microwave for.) Do it slowly, and on a lower power level. If you do it too quickly and too hot, you can ruin the chocolate texture. I do mine in 30-45 second increments on 50% power.
Drizzle the chocolate on top of the popcorn after you lay it out on a cookie sheet (I use parchment paper underneath so there is no sticking). Drizzle enough so you can be sure to see it. Then quickly shake the cinnamon in top....mmmmm!
Refrigerate until the chocolate sets up again, and then you can "break" it apart and bag it.
*This makes a great gift - seems like you spent a lot of time on a gourmet recipe. But go ahead and let them think that. I won't tell.*
"Everything is overpriced nowadays. Three dollars for a small popcorn? Give me a break."
